Foundry vs.. Saloon.

The denizens of Ross avenue and
Carter street are making Il vigorous
kick at Messrs Mosher Il Powell for
building II foundry on thatspoi. Some
of the people have petitioned the
council to stop proceedings, character
izing the thing Il nuisance, etc, There
was n deal of discussion over this
question. The city attorney had de-
cidcd at the last meeting of the coun-
ell that the citizens on Ross avenue
could not prevent by petition the cree
ton of a saloon building, which the
residents on that street were attempt
ing to prevent, and the building is &C.
ing up and the saloon will be opened.
The expression ofthc council last night
seemed to be in favor of voting a
foundry nuisance and preventing its
erection. Such action would certainly
be absurd, silly and an open preference
in favor Of saloons as against honest
industries. Certainly the council call
not act in such u glaring way in favor
ing saloons. 1t is questionable
whether foundries and places OF bust
ness should be allowed OF. the princi-
pal resident streets. There is plenty
of room elsewhere, aud elsewhere is
Just where they should go; but when
it comes to discriminating in favor of
saloon as against an honest, pro-
ductive industry, it is time for the
people 10 step in and say word to
their couucilmen. The proposition
should have been acted upon at once.
There is but one way now TO act and
that is to let Mcssrs. Mosher Il Powell
90 ahead and erect the foundry, or
else pull down the saloon building.

A Brave Civilian.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On July 4,
1864, a body Of rebel troops crossed the Potomac
at Point Of Rocks at the Upper Ford. Coming
across a small meadow they struck the tow
path of the canal just above the lock. steam
tug that carried the mail from Georgetown to
Cumberland was entering the lock from below,
and the Captain was ordered 10 surrender. But
instead he brought out his double barrelled shot
gun and fired on the rebels. They shot him dead
and burned the packet. Mr.. McGill found his
body by the side of tho towpath and had il
buried between the lock and railroad next day.
The rebels took horse from Mr.. McCiill, and
he crossed the river next day to try 10 recover
il. i heard him say that he saw two very
bloody litters on the othetside of the river, and
thought the Captain of the packet had killed
or dangerously wounded two OF the rebels As
the troops at Point of Rocks had not disputed
the approach Of the rebels but had left upon
their throwing three shells across the river, it
is quite likely the Captain was the only one
who had fired a shot at them.
was one of the boys who helped occupy
Poin. Of Rocks on July 9, 1864, at sunrise,
having marched from Monocacy on the previous
night, and saw these things while fresh and
smoking. i think of this Captains heroic
death, and would like to learn his name and 10
ask the comrades of the Department of the
Potomac il they decorate his grave, as his body

UNTWISTING THE TWIST.
An Iowa CaIalryman Explains the Layout at Nash
Vile.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: notice that
Comrades Rankin and Surby still keep up the
war between JohnsOn's and Hatch's Cavalry
Divisions The trouble is that neither of these
comrades fully understand the local geography
of Nashville. ComTade SuIby is mistaken
when he thinks that the right of Hatch's Di-
vision rested on the Cumberland River. Com
rade Rankin is also mistaken as to the location
OF the Granny White pike.
The Granny White pike has its northern
terminus at a ford in the bend of the Cumber-
land River about two miles northwest of the
city. Thence il runs sOutheasterly through the
west part of the city, thence south by a slight
detection TO the west about seven miles, termi-
mating at Granny" Whites House, about two
and a half miles northwest of Brentwood,
which is on the franklin pike. The Franklin
pike runs due south from Nashville. The
Granny White is the first pike west of the
Franklin; then comes HilIsboro pike, then the
Harding pike, then the Charlotte pike, then
the northern end of the Granny White.
These are all the roads leading out of Nashville
south of the Cumberland River and west Of
the Franklin pike.
The rebel forts spoken Of by Comrade Surby
were situated upon the southern part of the
Granny White pike, while OH the northern
part there were no forts. The right of the in
fantry rested upon the southern portion of the
Granny White pike. Hatch's left rested upon
the southern portion of the Granny White pike.
Here Hatch's gallant troopers dismounted and
marched shoulder to shoulder with the in
fantry, capturing forts, batteries and regi-
ments
Comrade Rankin's regiment occupied the
extreme right of our lines My regiment (the
9Th Iowa Cav.) was brigaded with his. Next
TO our left were Hatch's troops, and on his left
the infantry.
COmrade Surby writes about the south end
Of the Granny White pike, and COmrade Ran
kin the north end. Both give correct details
of their respective positions, but both are in
error regarding the geography of the country.
| i would ask COmrade Rankin not to take a
laurel from Hatch's gallant men; their achieve
ments add luster to that grand cavalry corps
| commanded by Gen. Wilson. j speak from an
unprejudiced standpoint, and from close ac-
quaintance with the country, having been on
detached service at Nashville several months
| during the Summer of 1864. Let Comrades
Rankin and Surby have a survey made of the
| field, and COmrade Rankin will find Hatch's
/ Division in Thomas's line on the south end OF
the Granny White pike, where there were real
forts; and COmradc Surby will find that Hatch
was not on the extreme right Let both of the
comrades find their proper positions and there
will be no difference of opinion.-W. S. COEN
Co. A, 9th Iowa Cav, Ottumwa, Iowa.
